In recent years, the
aerospace industry has seen rapid development, emerging as a pillar industry for various nations.
Today, we'll delve into the machining of composite materials using PCD countersink drills.
The introduction of composite materials has brought about revolutionary changes in aircraft manufacturing.
Compared to other materials, composite materials are lighter (50% lighter than steel, 30% lighter than aluminum), stronger (five times the strength of steel), and resistant to high temperatures (capable of withstanding temperatures above 2000°C). These characteristics make them indispensable in the aerospace field.
However, as the proportion of composite materials in aerospace applications gradually increases, issues such as delamination during machining and surface roughness affecting tool life become significant. Therefore, selecting the right tools and employing them effectively for high-quality machining is paramount.
Moresuperhard boasts a wealth of experience in machining composite materials.
Numerous cases demonstrate that using PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) cutting tools significantly enhances surface quality, boosts production efficiency, and extends tool life, making it an ideal choice for machining.
Moresuperhard received an inquiry from a US-based aerospace company requesting PCD countersink drills for composite material machining.
Due to confidentiality requirements regarding specific parts, detailed information cannot be disclosed.
However, attention is drawn to Moresuperhard's PCD countersink drills.
